I had an exchange of several email messages with a salesperson at a local dealer, trying to negotiate a price on a new car. I started out by emailing the generic sales address at the dealer, and he's the person who responded. We weren't able to agree on a price, so I told him I'd buy somewhere else and didn't hear from him again. I really didn't like dealing with the guy. I'd like to talk to a different salesperson at the same dealership. How do I do that without stepping on the previous salesperson's toes?

Replying to: robotb9 (Jul 16, 2008 10:33 am) The fact that you're thinking of coming back to this dealership seems to me that you weren't happy with the prices from the other dealerships. Maybe your expectations are too high? Just my .02

Replying to: robotb9 (Jul 16, 2008 1:34 pm)  Just like dino said, the prices come from management. However, maybe today they'll be desperate and you'll get lucky. Let us know how you make out.

Replying to: verdugo (Jul 16, 2008 2:41 pm) I agree that prices come from management and a new day, as the month moves along, could yield a different price. Yikes, they might even go higher. Unless it's the end of the month when they'll almost surely go down. My concern, given you didn't get along with the first guy, is he'll probably get a split deal even though he didn't help, if you mention the first guy or he see's/remembers your name should he see a sales contract by accident. jmonroe |

how much of a discount should I expect on a 2008 model? The dealer invoice minus holdbacks is 23,655. Should I expect to pay under this?
